Beecl,er's Church a Slave Mart.

It may not be out Of place in connect
ion with the history of the late Henry
Ward Beecher to mention an affecting
incident in his life which may not have
faded from the remembrance of some
of our older citizens. In 1860 or 1861 a
beautiful octoroon girl, raised and owned
by a prominent citizen in this county,
Mr.. John Churchman, attempted to
make her escape North. She was ar
rested and brought back Her master
then determined to sell her, and found
a ready purchaser in another citizen,
Mr.. Fred Scheffer. Shortly after this
the last owner was impressed with the
belief that the girl intended to make
another effort to go North the first OPP
portunity that presented. TO meet the
emergency and save trouble, Mr..
Schetter proposed to Sarah that she
should go North and raise enough money
from the abolitionists to purchase her.
self. This proposition she eagerly ac-
copied, and, being furnished with means
by Mrs. Scheffer to pay her fare, she
started. A few days after her arrival in
New York she was taken to Mr.. Beecher
and on the following Sabbath morning
was escorted to his pulpit in Brooklyn
She was a woman of commanding pre-
sence, rounded features and winning
face, and jet-black hair, and of course,
under the circumstances, attracted most
eager attention and interest from the
large and wea lthy congregation as
sembled. She was requested to unloosen
her hair, and as she did so it fell in
gistening waves over her shoulders and
beloW her waist, Robed in spotless
white, her face crimsoned and form
heaving under the excitement of the
occasion, she stood in that august pre-.
! sence very Venus in form and feature.
For a moment Mr.. Beecher remained
by her side without uttering word, I'M
til the audience was wrought up to /,
high pitch of curiosity and excitement
And then in bis impressive way he re-
lated her story and hermission. Before
he concluded his pathetic recital the
vast audience was sea of commotion
Tears ran down cheeks unused to the
melting mood, eager curiosity and ex.
element pervaded the whole congre.
cation, and as the pastor announced that
1 he wanted $4,000 for the girl before him
to redeem her promise to pay for hel
freedom, costly jewelry and trinkets
and notes and specie piled in in such
rapid succession that in less time thar
it takes to write this down enough ano
much more was contributed than was
necessary to meet the call that had beer
made. What became of Sarah after
this remarkable introduction to the Ply
mouth congregation and the sensational
! incidents connected with it we never
learned. But the incident itself illu
strated the broad humanity of the grea
preacher and the tender sympathy he
felt for the humble and oppressed. =

The man or woman who stumbles and

squaring every thought and action of his

TO work his or her way up and on, than
by stopping to take seat On the block
over which they have stumbled, and
lamenting for all their future lives that
such block should ever have been in

New York has fallen into line and it's
legislature has passed the Crosby high
license bill. Its provisions apply only
to the cities of New York and Brooklyn,
and it establishes four grades of liquor
licenses, the lowest 800 and the highest
81 1000. There is some fear that Cover
nor Hill will not sign the bill, as the
political machinery Of those cities is run
by the men who are engaged in the
liquor traffic and are opposed to high
license. In any ev ent it can be seen
that the cause Of temperance is rapidly
gaining ground and the near future will
see radical change from the present
anti-temperance systems.

The manly action Of Senator John
Sherman in Birmingham, Ala, in quit
ting the hotel where the proprietor re-
fused to allow delegation of colored
men who called upon him to be received;
and going to one where they would be
admitted has endeared him to the hearts
'ofthe colored people throughout this en-
tire country.
It is onlyupo such occasions as this
which are rare-that the ostracism, pre-
iudice, and inhuman injustice which is
exhibited toward cola red people gener-
ally, gets before the public. Any color
ed man could 60 TO that same hotel in
the capacity ola servant, and be received
in any part of it; but when delegation
of colored men wishing to show they
were men, and, as such, desired to pay
their respects to a man who had proven
himself friend to them appeared, they
were refused admission. Many men
would have poeketed the insult, and,
catering to the damnable prejudice, said
nothing. But not so with Senator sher-
man, he felt the insult too strongly, that
declared respectable people, his guests,
from visiting him without let or hinder
aance, and left house where both he and
his guests were insulted by the pro-
Eprietor.
The Observation-Disclosures an ex-re-
bel---thought to put feather in his cap
by insulting lot of colored men who
dared to have manly feelings; but, in
stead, only brought down upon himself
the righteous indignation of decent
people, and gave the illustrous Senator
al, opportunity, to add new laurels to
his already enviable reputation; which
he was not slow to take advantage of.
Folks who do not know how to nlanipu-
tate boomerang properly, had better
not attempt the feat, for fear of having
it return and break their own heads.
That little act Of human justice on the
pare of Senator Sherman will win him
not few votes in the South if he should
be among the candidates for the presi'
sdency in $50.
